Well, a lot of what you’re doing here regarding consciousness and “zombies” seems to me like philosophy-of-the-gaps. If I’m not mistaken, Prof. Koch and his peers are the most literate (and adept) on where and how empirically derived evidence is filling in these gaps. I confess I’m not reading these ginormous posts from you carefully -but I’m curious why (as far as I can tell) you’re not mucking around with cutting edge empiricism on consciousness with the same glee Robin’s mucking around with cutting edge empiricism on behavioral economics, decision theory, etc.
